Somewhere in the USA. High above the city, this abandoned penthouse cinema spans the top two floors of a narrow 10-storey building. This #ArtDeco era theatre started life as a vaudeville venue but appears to have fallen out of use when other theatres switched to movies.

In the early 1960s it came back into use, showing foreign and art-house films. Within a decade the cinema would close for good.

💙📷 The Explore vs The Shot. A look behind the scenes at one of my favourite locations: a striking #ArtDeco power plant control room in Hungary.

While sorting through old files, I came across this behind-the-scenes snapshot buried on my hard drive. I'm crouched down totally engrossed, capturing a multi-shot vertical panorama. The photo emphasises the impressive skylight sitting directly overhead, looking down like a great all-seeing eye!

1920s Art Deco control room, Hungary

The room is spectacularly lit by natural light, pouring in from the #ArtDeco skylight.

Viewed from certain angles, the core of the skylight is reminiscent of a large all-seeing eye staring down at you. Levers, valves, switches, knobs and dials line all the wall panels

Large, sweeping, crescent-shaped control panels encircle one side of the room.
